This is Wei Chong of WeiPhotoArts posting this reply. PLEASE IGNORE THIS POST, BECAUSE I FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM. I was using the wrong font Cambria, when I should have been using Adobe Kaiti for the Chinese characters. Unfortunately it has led to other problems of vertical spacing, which I will lat...

Has anyone done this--tried to print on Lulu.com and have either their PDF had problems or their rtf corrupted? I'm using Nisus Pro 2.1.7 on a MacBook Pro (mid 2009) with 4gb RAM and MacOS 10.11.6 (El Cap). I've created a PDF using /File/Export as PDF, and Lulu.com says there's an error on convertin...

I forgot to state that I did not use Wingdings, because of the awkwardness of changing fonts that Vinceone carefully documented. But for my use, Nisus' menu bar Edit/Special Characters/Misc led me to more than enough icons. If that's not enough, making sure you have your "regular" font, yo...

Hi Vanceone, Your solution was clear, precise, useful, and it worked! As you mentioned, it was a bit “finicky,” but with your instructions followed closely, I was able to add two more bullet lists to my Nisus New File document. Thanks to you, to Martin, and the rest of the Forum members who have hel...

Martin, Thank you kindly for your clear, detailed instructions. I was able to follow them, and now I am well over 50% there. I’m able to change the bullet size, making it larger or smaller, and then saving it. My last question regards the bullet itself . There are 13 bullet types in the List Palette...

How to Create Unique Bulleted Lists I’ve tried 3 times going through the Nisus Writer Pro documentation, but I haven’t found my solution to what I want to do with a new bullet style. I want to create a bullet style (and subsequent bullet-style indents) that use different bullets and sizes than are i...

Hi Phillip & Andrian, Thank you for your deep insights into how I can better use Nisus Pro. I'm learning more and more about how best to use it. I'm going with Phillip's solution, which is more elegant than mine. I will figure how to hassle through image placements, but initially I won't be usin...

Synergy: When 1 + 1 = 3 I rarely use this forum, but when I do, I’m always amazed by the helpful ideas members generously provide. In this case, Phillip’s caution was appreciated. But his idea of the single column (which I tried) made for lots of work (even with a macro), as it would have to be rep...

I have a question on how to create a document with two different-sized columns over even and odd pages. Nisus 2.1.6 has the columns are maintained over all pages, not changing from even to odd pages. For example, on page 1 imagine the different-sized columns, the left column being a 4.19” column and...

Hi Phillip, I tried your suggestion of moving the caption's margin inside the text box to the left edge of the box. I had modest success. Mostly I had difficulty controlling the jumpiness of the change. It was a lot easier starting from scratch, making sure I made near-final sizing with my external ...

Hi Phillip,

Thanks for your quick reply. Something took me away from responding, and I will be trying your suggestions. I'll get back soon enough.

Adrian, Thank you kindly for your clear explanations. I found your solutions wonderful. I intend to follow my work-around #3, until I get more experienced in Nisus Writer Pro. (I'm just 3 weeks into using it.) And then if I have a need for using your macro solution, I will learn to code NWP macros, ...

I’ve been adding captions to my images using the standard Tools/Shapes/Add Caption to Image. The image neatly fits the underlying text box, and I can shade the box nicely. Recently my text boxes have become “oversized,” so it looks horrible. I just can’t seem to shrink the underlying text box or inc...

I’m having difficulty with flowing text around images. Specifically, the paragraph type has an indent, and the image is either a) Moves with paragraph or b) Position on page with Paragraph. I have three pictures to illustrate my problem. Pic1 is a typical no-indent paragraph. Nisus Writer Pro handle...
